Like anytime Amari plays, espcially if its toys with balls or building with blocks, he doesnt actually play or build he just picks the item up and flings it to the floor..lol. Idk how to get him to actually play with things.

Forget appropriate play, that will come with time. At this age, join in if it makes him happy. Gradually with time work on throwing soft toys only and then teach appropriate play. Focus on building a good relationship at this point... rest will follow.

Its very common and I still deal with at 13, but rarely. My position is that down is better then at you...lol sometimes its to watch it drop. To see if something will happen to it.If its a throw, it to watch it fly. Its a compulsion as well as a curiosity. Our kids do things in a different world....a flying object world sometimes...lol
His style of play is in a different world. The sooner you can let go of typical expectations the more you both will enjoy that time:)
Yea that makes sense. I know hes still very young .. thanks @A MyAutismTeam Member
